Word of the Day for Saturday, August 30, 2008fop \FOP\, noun: A man who is overly concerned with or vain about his dress and appearance; a dandy. I wear ties because I don't have to, because in an increasingly dressed-down, homogenized world, they can set you apart. I wear ties because they nurture the inner fop. Also the outer one. He's swaddled in a heavy black wool overcoat and his shoes are silver-buckled with cap toes, the black leather well taken care of. He's a bit of a lounge lizard, a hip-hop fop. Fop comes from Middle English fop, foppe, "a fool." The adjective form is foppish. | |||||||||
